Serenaded by the Sounds of Hammers
The front desk staff were great. Room service was spectacular. The grounds were beautiful and the physical hotel was elegant. However, I was awoken at 8am to the sound of hammers and construction coming from above below and on the side of my room. I called the front desk to ask if they could assist but they were unable to give me more than an apology and a late check out

Internet is so poor
The hotel charges almost USD10 / day for the Internet. But, Internet is very poor during the stay.

Best Hotel in Orlando
The only issue we had was there were no king bedrooms available at check in. Other than that, it was great! The grounds were wonderful, fitness center was great as was the overall interior of the hotel.

Mall at Millenia is the best shopping area we saw. There is also an outlet mall off Hwy. 4, to the southwest of the hotel, but it was very busy so we didn't go.

Not Great, but good
Started out rough! Nice recovery. Not the typical Ritz expereince. Some of the staff have not read The Ritz Carlton Way, while others truly embrace it!

Magnificant Resort and perfect weekend get away
My wife and I were invited to attend a Friday Night fund raiser for Lighthouse for the Blind at The Ritz so decided to spend the weekend there and get away from the kids for a few days. Upon arrival I knew we were in for a real treat. We made our way through the well manicured grounds and were surrounded by fountains, lakes and a world class golf course. Check in was fast and painless and our room was very comfortable and luxurious. We made appointments at the SPA for a couples massage and facial on Saturday morning then went down stairs to a sumptuous dinner at Norman's. This was one the best dining experiences we have ever had and I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. We spent all of Saturday relaxing and being pampered at the SPA and enjoyed this so much we extended our stay one more day and did it all over again on Sunday. We positively loved the Ritz Carlton and will be back for get away weekends whenever time and our budget permit.

My wife and I made a trip to Orlando, FL for our 20th wedding anniversary. The Ritz carlton was a top-notch hotel with excellent service and was very impressive. Other than the room being a bit smaller than i expected, the stay was enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando.
